Hmm. So far behind the curve it's not funny, but made good progress
PS3:
Uncharted 2 and 3
Assassin's Creed - brotherhood, revelations, 3 and 4 (PS4)
Red Dead Redemption
GTA IV
Fallout 3
The Last of Us
PC:
Skyrim
XCOM:Enemy Within
The Witcher 2
Possibly:
Dishonored
Dawn of War 2: Chaos Rising
Torchlight
( I struggle with FPS games, got too slow in my old age, the other two I chip away at occasionally when the mood strikes)
Remember Me (I have both PS3 and PC versions, so will see which I find easier)
Vita:
LBP
Gravity Rush
Uncharted
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath
PS4:
Going to continue to attempt to get going in Killzone - I like how it plays, but suck even worse at FPS games on console)

If I make good inroads on these, I'll be looking at Watch_Dogs and Thief as well (PS4).

I'd like to complete Heavenly Sword at some point, but that requires a restart as I lost my saves in the great ylod, march 2013...

I've never understood the problem with having a backlog, it just means you don't need to go spend money on new games.

I don't think there is any problem either...for the reason you mentioned. In addition, it also means that when I finally to get around to the some of the more contemporary games of a generation, it means most issues have been patched and the primary version available for cheap is some collector's or GOTY edition with all added content included.

In fact, with the past gen and this current gen being more and more reliant on post-launch or even same-day DLC....some that take's place in the middle of the games story....I actually prefer to wait until I can get a complete package of a game.

At the same time....one issue with having to play catch-up with new games, particularly story-based games, is the same issue that also occurs with not catching new TV shows right as they air....that some of the better aspects or story surprises will get spoiled, even when you're not looking for spoilers.
So far I've been fortunate to avoid the endings some games on my list to complete....but the internet makes it hard, especially when spoilers can easily pop up in any topic that one would want to take part in.

There's also the notion that when one is working on a backlogue, instead of playing the newest and latest release...they aren't really a part of the latest water-cooler discussion. But that's something I could care less about anyway.

I have an obscene amount of games I need/want to play/re-play. I'm making myself beat most of them before I get a PS4. Realistically for 2014? No idea as my game choosing is completely on whims and random bouts of madness. I'm guessing:

I'm also thinking of selling off Castlevania: Lord of Shadows and the God of War Collection with out beating them as I really just don't find those long reach spinning attack beat 'em ups all that fun.

Update 1
Almost done with Max Payne 3, but I can't get myself motivated to play it further. It's so frustrating. Especially those juggernauts. And I wanna finish the game on 'Hard' difficult.

Update 2
I've put Max Payne 3 back on the shelf because I couldn't finish the level I was in. Started with 4 ''new'' games this month (Bulletstorm, Bully: Scholarship edition, Just Cause 2 and Red Faction: Armageddon). So far I've finished two of those games (Bully: Scholarship edition and Just Cause 2). Still wanna try to earn more achievements than I currently have in both games. Easily can get them near the 900 gamerscore.

Update 3
Done with Bulletstorm. Was a fun game to play, got all collectibles and got many skill kills. Somehow the game doesn't save all the skill kills I've made so I think I never get the achievements for getting 75% and 100% of the skill kills.
Also playing some more Bully: Scholarship edition to get it on 100% completion (1000 G)

I'd like to try Tomb Raider for the PS4, but I'm not paying full price for it.

If you have a capable PC, you might want to get it for PC instead....one, it's costs a lot less (especially when you factor in a Steam sale...I got the Tomb Raider GOTY edition with all DLC for just $9).

In additional, apparently the "Definitive Edition" isn't as definitive as we were led to believe:

Unfortunately I do not have a capable PC, so that's not an option. I'll just wait for the price to come down.

Some games were beaten. Others were played for a few hours and thrown by the way side. Slowly but surely, the list continues to shrink. The big dent in the list will come during the summer. Only working 55-60 hours a week will be a major break compared to right now.

The Bard's Tale

Darksiders II

Don't Starve

Eador: Masters of the Broken World

Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes (Played a little)

Faster Than Light

Fez

FF VIII

Giani Sisters: Twisted Dreams

Knights of Pen and Paper +1 (I have played some but I am still working on it.)

La-Mulana

Nihilumbra

Revenge of the Titans (2/3 done)

Sanctum 2

Shadow Run Returns (Berlin Campaign)

Spelunky

ToEE (I tried it once and it didn't click. I will try it one more time.)

Toki Tori 2+

Wizardry 8

Super Luigi U (WiiU)

Splinter Cell: Black List (WiiU)

Wonderful 101 (WiiU) (I am a couple of levels in.)

Pikmin 3 (WiiU)

Tekken Tag Team 2 (WiiU) (I have played it enough to know I like it, but I haven't seriously played it, yet.)

-Metroid Prime 1-3. I missed them entirely somehow, I think I was turned off by the first-person style but after logging so many hours into Borderlands 2, it doesn't bother me anymore.
-Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen.
-Bravely Default. My village has 400 people in it and I'm on chapter 2. Conventions, man.
That's at least what I have that I haven't finished. No idea what to get later on but those should tide me over for a while. Might get the new DK or fez for a platformer to mix things up.
